Answer 1

The whole thing sound suspect. Is this a well known hotel chain? It is strange for them to hire someone from overseas and pay for everything up front. This is usually either a scam to get your money for a fake visa or worse. I also have never heard of Canadian Immigration emailing documents. Usually they send things post. Also what is the domain of the email address. Something here is just wrong. You need to contact Canadian immigration or the embassy in your country where these documents should actually be coming from. Tell them your situation and see what they say. If this is legit then you should ONLY be entering Canada on a Work Permit, not a tourist visa.

Answer 2

I think someone is scamming you. I live in Canada and thats the first time I heard that. I may be wrong though, but I would be very careful before sending money. Why not visit the government of Canada website
